		Henry Darger's young girls with penises opus was good, but the three-floor exhibit of Adolf Wölfli's work absolutely blew me away.
		Wölfli was a Swiss artist who wound up in a mental institution around the turn of the last century (child molestation got him there, schizophrenia kept him there), cranking out art like his life depended on it until he died in 1930.

	eric gelber on adolf wolfli at the american folk art museum
		Wolfli spent over thirty years of his life in the Waldau Mental Asylum and was accused on three separate occasions of molesting children.
		Wolfli couldn't draw the human figure to save his life, and the only way to differentiate between his male and female figures is to look for the dress and high heels.
		Wolfli was a weak colorist but this might be due to the fact that he had limited supplies at his disposal.

	[wolfli Adolf] Spoerri Elka - new and used books
		Like Darger, Wolfli sought to tame his pedophilic madness by organizing it into an incredibly elaborate art exploring what Darger called "the realms of the unreal," where a mind incapable of coping with the real world could construct and rigidly control a world of infinite beauty and sights denied all ordinary mortals.
		Wolfli was technically superior to Darger, though his collages clipped from magazines (often the Illustrated London News) were not so central to his imagination as the clip-and-trace fantasy battles of little girls that obsessed Darger.
		Wolfli conceived of himself as a multimedia artist in a way only a schizophrenic could imagine: his drawings were also musical compositions, images and letters imbued with sounds, and time reconceived as a unit of space.

		The youngest of the seven children born to a stonecutter and a laundress, Wolfli, orphaned before his tenth birthday, was made a ward of the community and lived in a succession of wretched foster homes.
		Intermingling reality and fiction, Wolfli's autobiography begins as an adventurous geographical world expedition, of which Doufi (Wolfli's childhood name) is the hero, and expands to a grandiose tale of cosmic war, catastrophe, and conquest with Doufi transformed into St. Adolf II.

	Raw Vision
		Up close, with the awesome achievement of Adolf Wolfli's text- and- drawing- and- poetry-and-music-filled books lying open before one's eyes, their rich tumult of wild imaginings and dazzling graphics more vivid than any reproduction could ever convey, the moment is a staggering one.
		Wolfli's deeply personal, bizarrely beautiful art constitutes one of the most important bodies of work produced by a so-called Outsider artist- or any artist of the modern era, for that matter, even though he created it outside the modernist mainstream.
		We know that Wolfli was born in the alpine countryside near the Swiss capital of Bern in 1864, became an orphan and farmhand-for-hire while still a child, did a brief stint in the army, and allegedly attempted to molest young girls on three occasions.
